The older I get, the more important my own personal health becomes to me – both the mental and physical health. I have always found great interest in topics revolving around “detoxing” (or let’s call it giving your body a break), working out, superfoods and a well-balanced diet. When Mike told me about this clinic…
It has been 10 days since I had my last cup of coffee. And I miss it every day. So why did I quit, you ask? Well, I can tell you this much: it is with good reason, but not forever. Generally speaking, coffee isn’t bad for you. If it is consumed in small amounts…
The weather in L.A. is not always as sunny as you’d expect it to be. Especially in May and June, the famous “June Gloom” makes an appearance. While the inland areas are nothing but blue skies, the coastal area can get pretty foggy and gloomy in the mornings due to the marine layer clouds moving…
Lately, I have been really happy. I don’t know how else to put it. It is hard to find the exact reason or words to describe the feeling, but after a very travel-intense month in April with barely any time at home or with Mike (aka my rock), May has been such a welcome change…
sunshine for days. Summer is finally starting to make an appearance and I could not be happier. I am such a sun child and my mood literally changes so much depending on the weather. After a long Winter, nothing gets me more excited than those first warm days up on our deck – or course…

Being self-employed for almost 3 years now (yay!) has been one of the greatest lessons in life to me personally. I feel like I have grown and learned so much. It has taught me better time management, to be more organized (at least I try), to take responsibility and to have discipline. And it has…
One of the things I absolutely love about New York (and L.A. even more, actually) is how normal it is to walk around town in your active wear. When we were having lunch at byChloe in NYC two weeks ago, there were two girls sitting next to us who had obviously just finished a workout…
…and light a candle. I am a huge candle lover. They are placed all around the apartment and on rainy days or evenings spent on the sofa, there is always a candle burning in our living room. Candles are a perfect way to set a cozy mood, but they are also a source of light….
The other day, I picked up a healthy lunch wrap with quinoa, pesto, spinach and feta on the go. It ended up being SO good that I tried my best to figure out exactly what it was composed of to recreate a similar wrap at home. This past weekend, I made the green quinoa wraps…
